Teaching Philosophy
I believe anyone can learn music as long as they have the desire to learn. Having a musical life is a joy unlike any other.
Musical Education
I have a masters of Classical Voice from the University of Ottawa. I am a partially self taught piano player who has taken lessons privately for almost a decade. I have experience with choral music as well as solo music, and with piano up to an intermediate level. My speciality is in classical voice with a focus on opera and artsong, but I am not limited by those genres.

Special Skills and Trainings
Having studied classical music from a performance standpoint and a historical standpoint gives me unique insight into how different genres are performed and how they have evolved into what we recognize today. This means that I can easily accommodate any style of music with very little difficulty! I have a great ear for pitch and have brought several students from near tone-deafness to a point where they can differentiate and identify pitches with almost no context. I also have knowledge of how the human body works while singing, and am able to describe instructions in a variety of ways to suit the student’s needs.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
